    The far west of the Nepalese Himalayas is one of the least visited areas. People who trekked to Mount Kailash in the past, like those who currently desire to go to Lake Rara, began their journey from Simikot. Meanwhile, our journey brings us to the Saipal Himal, one of the region's three peaks at almost 7,000 meters above sea level. We'll make a loop from Simikot to his base camp, walking east then north. We will be among the few foreigners to visit this area. Because this trip is a reconnaissance trip to investigate the terrain and improve the circuit for the subsequent departures, the program is presented as an indication.
